Eryaman Stadium

Gençlerbirliği Spor Kulübü (pronounced Turkish pronunciation: [ɟentʃˈlæɾbiɾli.i]), commonly known as Gençlerbirliği, is a multi-sport organisation from Ankara best known for its men's professional football team, which currently competes in the Süper Lig and hosts matches at the 20,560-seat Eryaman Stadium on the city's western edge. Founded on 14 March 1923 by pupils of Ankara Erkek Lisesi who were excluded from their school side, the club soon became a symbol of youthful rebellion and has been nicknamed Ankara Rüzgârı ("Wind of Ankara") and Gençler ("The Youth") ever since. Its traditional colours are red and black, chosen—according to club lore—either because those were the only fabrics available at a local tailor or because they echo the red-and-black poppies that flower on the Anatolian steppe each spring. Historically, Gençlerbirliği were a dominant force in the regional Ankara Football League, winning that competition a record nine times before the nationwide league system was introduced in 1959. National silverware followed: the club captured the Turkish Football Championship twice, in 1941 and 1946, and lifted the Turkish Cup in both 1987 and 2001; the latter triumph earned a memorable UEFA Cup run in 2003–04 in which the side eliminated Blackburn Rovers, Sporting CP and Parma before bowing out to eventual champions Valencia in the fourth round. League highlights include third-place finishes in 1965–66 and 2002–03, the latter season under manager Ersun Yanal producing the highest points total in club history. Gençlerbirliği are also renowned for an academy and scouting network that has developed internationals such as Geremi, Isaac Promise and Arda Güler. The club's main rivalry is with fellow Ankara side Ankaragücü; their meetings are dubbed the Ankara derby and are among the oldest continuously played local derbies in Turkish football. Off the pitch, Gençlerbirliği have long been associated with pragmatic financial management—initiated by legendary president İlhan Cavcav—as well as a politically active supporter base known for choreographed tifos and social-justice campaigns.
